I mean, of course, sports betting. In casino games based on chance, such as roulette, many more people will not be able to get rich - 99.9% or 99.99% or even 99.999%. There are many prerequisites for such a forecast. On the one hand, we know the statistics, although they are contradictory. The overwhelming majority of players, approaching 99%, according to various estimates, lose money in sports betting in the long term. If you ask me for links to studies, then, I'm afraid I will have nothing to show you. This is very difficult to do and difficult to achieve truthful results. Not all players are inclined to tell the truth and it will be difficult for an outside researcher to verify. However, the longer the period we take, the more likely it is that the winners are only people who were lucky. So I wonder what motivates people who want to get rich on sports betting if they believe in such a pattern? Do the players sincerely believe in their own exceptionalism and genius?

This is something everyone says and I don't know why some peoples still believe otherwise... if they are a newbie I also understand, but I don't beleieve when I see "veterans" or those with some experience still believing this. I only see one possibility: they are really sick, it has to be that!!!

I want to believe that most people arenot exactly looking to get rich, but rather to satisfy the personal pleasure of having a thrilling experience, of seeking the adrenaline rush on the hope of winning a bet. But this ends up become something unhealthy when these peoples use money they cannot afford to lose, when they take out loans to support this "pleasure" or even give to commit crimes for it.

It's possible to get rich? for sure! Tut that is only for a minority of plyers... Are you among of them? I'm in it only for the fun, always.

Sports betting feels like an arena where belief collides with math people know the stats are stacked against them yet the dream of beating the odds keeps them hooked some truly think they have an edge because they watch games study stats or follow trends but even with knowledge the margins are razor thin and variance can crush anyone most winners in the long run are either the disciplined few with strict bankroll rules or professionals with models and data access beyond what casual bettors can imagine.

What really fuels most players isn’t profit but emotion it’s the thrill of being right the buzz of a last minute goal the dopamine of thinking you saw something others didn’t that excitement is addictive and it tricks the brain into believing wins are closer than they really are when handled responsibly it can be harmless fun but once people start betting rent money taking loans or chasing losses it turns into something destructive and hard to escape. It’s not impossible to get rich from sports betting but the odds are so low that banking on it as a plan is closer to self sabotage than strategy the smarter path is to treat it like paying for entertainment the same way you would spend money on movies or concerts if you happen to win it’s a bonus not the plan staying in it for fun with limits set is the healthiest way because chasing riches through betting has broken far more people than it has ever made.
